The Senate Plenary approved this Wednesday (4) Bill (PL) 3,449/2024, which allows the Ministry of Finance to reset the import tax rates for medicines under the Simplified Taxation Regime.
The exemption limit is US$10,000, approximately R$57,000, for imports by an individual for their own or individual use. Approved by the Chamber of Deputies in October, the text goes to presidential approval.
The PL, authored by deputy José Guimarães (PT-CE), incorporates the text of provisional measures (MPs) 1,236/2024 and 1,271/2024, on the topic of simplified taxation, and MP 1,249/2024, on the Mover Program .
The rapporteur, senator Cid Gomes (PSB-CE), presented a favorable opinion to the proposal and rejected all the amendments presented. “We chose to reject all amendments so that the project does not have to return to the Chamber of Deputies, since its approval requires urgency and consequent enactment into law”, he explained.
